November TBR
When November comes, things start to move faster than usual. It takes a lot of work to stay on top of the schedule. But, it's also the time of the year when most of the excitement starts pouring in.
This month, I really, truly want to finish my David Mitchell challenge. Jacob de Zoet is breaking my heart, and I can't seem to move on from what I just read. Yes, fiction can do that! It absolutely can!
I am also adding:
- Dwellers by Eliza Victoria -TFG's book for the month.
- The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera -the last book in my I Dare You To Read challenge.

Before I go, here are the books I read last October:
Have a great November!
- Fludd by Hilary Mantel -4/5 stars -Humorous and symbolic.
- The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat by Dr. Oliver Sacks -3/5 stars -It challenged misconceptions and case isolation.
- Jesus' Son by Denis Johnson -5/5 stars -It was both sad and beautiful -it was perfect.
- Jack: The Tale of Frost -4/5 stars -Grinch has to make a huge step backward from this one.
Have a great November!

Is Fludd a full-length novel? Hmm.
ReplyDeleteYes, it is. :)
DeleteTaking note of Jesus' Son. :)
ReplyDeleteI hope you'll love it too. :)
DeleteJacob de Zoet is heartbreaking? Eeep. Is this your last Mitchell na? Regarding Fludd: "an atheist priest, vicious nuns"...interesting...:D
ReplyDeleteYou have to read it, Tin! hehehe I have The Bone Clocks pa.
DeleteI think, Martel's earlier works are overly shadowed by her Man Booker prized books. If Fludd is an indication of how good a storyteller she is, then the Bookers must be really really good. :)
